Well its been 2.5 years in the making but we finally upgraded our 1999 200LE to a 2023 23 Surf with the 300HP Merc. We actually purchased her in November last year and got a great deal on it. Its been a very long winter and are excited to splash her in a few weeks on Lake Cumberland.
This has been our tow rig for the last 6 years. 2011 GMC Yukon with the 6.2. 170k on the clock. Tows our 200LE. Think the boat and trailer come in around 4200 lbs. Pulls good. However it’s time for an updated rig. Thinking about the new Yukon with the Diesel engine.
Thanks for the response Doc
I was surprised as well at the price. We did a build and it came out to 80k. But that is tens of thousands of dollars cheaper then a straight wakesurf boat of the other brands.
we like the 23 surf because it encompasses all facets of the boating lifestyle we like...
I’m wanting to upgrade our 1999 200le to a 23 Surf. I have chatted with a few dealers about. But nobody can give me real world usage of them and how they handle. How are they to surf behind? What size engine would you recommend etc. There are not many used ones on the market so I’m guessing...
Lol. Definitely
Glad to see ya T&J. We are still up here in central Illinois. Getting a little warmer out. Midwest boating will be here before we know it.
